First, a short description about the basics of how a comic is made.Ĭomics are usually a collaborative medium. Generally a book is created with the creativity of several people. Why do you want to create comics? Since I can't find that answer for you, all I can do is present the reasons why you should draw comics if you are on the fence. So before you draw comics or even consider pursuing the endeavor you must find your own ”Why” and never forget it. This is the foundation of everything! Without the ”Why” to any behavior, the behavior becomes meaningless. So let's not assume that every comic creator has a road of troubles and depression ahead of them because if they are true to themselves and delve deep in the craft with reckless abandon there is really nothing that can stop them. Rather let's all agree that creating comics (if that is what you love) is amazing and only with the addition of more creators out there will the industry grow to proportions we all hope for. The competition is tough in the comic industry and that has created what many would call a famine mentality among start-up artists and writers. When I say famine mentality, I mean it's the belief that for someone to succeed another has to fail.īut just like the human ego, this famine mentality is an illusion. With the reach that the internet has given us, every worthy creator has a strong chance against even the most mainstream comic publishers. And for this reason, the emphasis on the many potential hardships ahead of young creators is not as helpful as one might think. I believe they cause fearful mental roadblocks and as Brian Johnson says, “Assumption Stacks” about the industry. The warning is justified because, for some reason in the comic book industry, there are an exorbitant amount of amateur creators. And there are many of these creators that have gotten burned by lack of sales or lists of rejections. It's not even that I believe it shouldn't be said, just that it shouldn't be accented as much as it is. It's a disclaimer that applies to everything creative not just comics. While this warning, that I see many professionals make, is true, I believe there is an adverse detriment in making this disclaimer so bold and in-your-face to beginning creators. “They” say something to the tune of: Don’t expect to make a living off of making comics.
3D DRAWING FOR BEGINNERS HOW TO
This section is not too important in regards to the main content but it's more to rebut some of the disclaimers that I see brought up in just about every discussion or lecture about how to draw comics and how to break into the industry. No matter from which perspective you are reading this guide, my goal remains the same. I want to make the idea of starting your own comic a less daunting one. In fact, this guide will streamline the process and become somewhat of a reference bible for not only how to make comics but how to believe in yourself and your ideas. So let's begin, shall we? Just make sure to click the images to support the artists in this collection.If you are reading this guide it’s probably because you like reading comics. I would even make a bet that you are one of the few who actually loves to read comics and that you've been inspired enough to start the journey of becoming a comic creator in some capacity.Įither you've picked up a pencil to write down ideas that have spawned from years of reading or started to draw characters from some of your favorite books in some form or fashion you've taken the figurative and creative leap of faith. Or even still, you may be like me and are several years deep into learning the comic craft, but still many years away from actually mastering its principles.
Take a look at the 25 examples of 3D drawings and be inspired. Artists also use color pencils to give special effects for their drawings. Easy 3D drawings are usually small drawings like alphabets, characters which are created in a fun way. 3D drawings are usually drawn in a certain angle to give the floating look, it involves a lot of shading.
Most artists use graphite pencils for creating the 3D look. 3D drawings is an amazing form of art, where the 3D pencil drawings seem to literally jump off the page. Pop out art has always captivated me, I still struggle to draw a regular drawing, yet somehow these artists have no problems creating masterpieces.
